Summary

Analytical and customer-focused professional with fintech and e-commerce experience at Klarna and Zalando. As a Team Manager, I led a team of 12 agents and acted as a key performance and quality reference point for a department of 50 colleagues. Experienced in working with KPIs such as AHT, CSAT, and resolution accuracy, translating data insights into operational improvements.

I am eager to grow into a Junior Customer Success Manager role where I can proactively manage client relationships, identify risks and opportunities, and contribute to long-term customer success in a compliance-driven environment.
